THE DROVER'S STORY.

~ isn't much OF tale to hear;
went one day with herd to town,
The finest lot ever drove down,
fS8ut wild and shy us so many deer,
~ took us full ten hours, or more,
To bring them safe to the buyers gate,
And after that, although it was late,
" had to go to the village store;
!gor Polly had prattled, the little sprite,
OF "boOful doll" from morn till eve
And but for making her sweet eyes grieve
u shouldn't have started home that night.
knew twas only childish toy,
But though the skies were as black as ink
And Jowls would have had me stay to drink,
Said to Roland: "Trot on, my boy"
wed left the town scarce mile behind,
With nine long miles stretched on before,
When the rain in torrents began TO pour,
The peltng flood made us almost blind.
But on we plodded, Roland and l,
TIL of sudden where the road lay
Eight through the widest part of the way,
L heard In the woods low, faintcry.
j called, and again the same sound came.
Perhaps, thought, while my blood ran cold,
Some one has heard that carry gold,
And this is all a part of the game.
But caught again that sobbing moan,
The cry, 1t seemed, of a little child
-Perishing there in the forest wild,
And down l sprang from my tcusty roam.
The dreary search for a time Was vain,
But, huddled close TO the sodden ground,
Shaking with c. ID and drenched with rain.
Then quick good Roland came at my call,
AND started of with a knowing neigh,
Eager as to be on the way,
for the home, and he for the stall
The wind and rain to a tempest grew,
But the child for an hour safe on my breast
Had slept like u bird that's found US nest,
When the cabin came at last in view.
But while on the latch 1 staid my hand
saw with sudden thrill of fear
The settlers gathered from far and paar
1t struck me dumb and my strength unnamed
''What is it, neighbors? Tell meN' prayed
May, now" said one, "God grant it is past
What's that in your arms you're holding fast?''
Her words went through my heart like blade.
Take it," gasped, my head in whirl
When, with cry that rang through the house
My wife tore open my dripping blouse,
And 10, t was Polly, our own wee grill
1t isn't much of tale to tell,
But it might have ended in way
That would have left me shattered and gray
And made the rest of my life hell.
What If I'd been a coward that night
Mr what If L d stopped with Jowls to drink
NJ set me wild when l CHANGED to think
What might have shown in the morning light.
Thank God, was spared that bitter cup,
Each day of my life 1 bless His name
That was saved that sorrow and shame,

Aye, thank the Lord, she's sixteen to-day
That Polly now, that girl over there

A girl worth saving, 1 think you'll saw

argue the point with his usual vivacity,
when the Congressman came to his relief
by proposing to give bit of personal ex-

He was born in Hamden, was for several years en- gagged in the boot and shoe business in this city and afterwards, in company with L. H. Goodyear, manufacturing pistols. Subse- quently he was g real estate broker, but had not done much business in that line for some time past. He owned considerable estate, but large share of it was more or less mort gagged. L. B. Hinman was MT. Goodyears agent for his New Haven property, which is occupied by twenty-two tenants.

The Death of Lieutenant clarke.

NEWPORT, R. l., May 23.-H. w. Clarke, father of Lieutenant Arthur H. Clarke, whose death at Panama was reported two weeks ago to-day, received a letter from his son written just before his death. It has been two months on the way, Panama ports being in quarantine, and came via England. Lieutenant Clarke wrote with his usual cheerfulness and gave no intimation directly or indirectly of any despondeney intention of committing suicide. MT. Clarke is by this letter strengthened in his belief that his son did not commit suicide, but awaits the letter of particulars which the officer of the Iroquois telegraphed him was on the way, but which will probably take the circuitous route travelled by this missive.

Why Es 1t

That rheumatism and neuralgia are so preva lent This question has not been satisfac- torily answered, but it is certain that these diseases are not only the most painful but among the most common, and some member of nearly every family in the land is the vic- tim of one of these dread tormentors. La dies seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the form of neuralgia headache, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant occurrence. Not until the discovery of Athlophoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous headache, and they were general Iy conceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros has been proved to be not only certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, but safe remedy. If, in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, its success is certain, and to aid this, Athlophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartlc, will be found to be valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no expert ment, it has been tested and has proved it's wonderful efficacy.
 The Athlophoros Pills were originally pre- pared as a remedy for use ln connection with Athlophoros for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy they are a certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for any and all dis eases arising from vitiated blood or general debility They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspep- sia, distress after eating, headache, constlpa- tion, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liv- CT troubles. For diseases of women they are invaluable These pills are perfectly harm less and may be safely used by adults or children.
 Testimonials of those who have been cured will be sent free on application.
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor- os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price which is S1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50c for Pills.
